Mr Bagbin commended all health workers who have been working in the region for their selfless contribution towards the improvement of health delivery in the region.

Receiving the equipment, Dr Daniel Yeyemain of the Hospital thanked Mr Bagbin for the items and all other support he had given to the Hospital.
